A man and woman are facing drugs and weapons charges from police after an officer spotted the unlicenced man driving on Sunday night.

At about 9 p.m. a patrol officer saw the couple’s vehicle travelling east on Weller Avenue, Kingston Police said in a news release. The driver was known to be unlicenced and as the officer turned around the man suddenly turned into an address on Weller Avenue.

As the officer pulled up behind the vehicle, they watched as the man climb over the woman who was sitting in the passenger seat. The officer approached the vehicle and saw a pill bottle in the center console and a can of bear spray on the driver side door, said police.

Inside the pill bottle the officer found crystal methamphetamine and during a search of the vehicle officers found a baggie of suspected Percocet’s, an air soft pistol that resembles a Glock 40 handgun, and drug paraphernalia including glass pipes, digital scales and lighters.

The man and woman were both arrested and taken to police headquarters.

A 25-year-old Kingston man and a 31-year-old Verona woman have been jointly charged by police with unlicenced possession of a prohibited weapon, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. The man has also been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and four counts of breaching his recognizance.

The man was held to attend bail court and the woman was released with a future court date.
